Abstract

The State visit of the President of the Republic of Turkey to the United Kingdom took 
place from the 1st to the 8th of November, 1967. The President was accompanied by 
an official suite of 16, including the Minister of Foreign Affairs and his wife, three 
politicians from three different Turkish political parties, including one who was a 
former Ambassador in London and Minister of Foreign Affairs, and one who was a 
former Minister of Reconstruction, officials from the Foreign Ministry and the 
Presidential Office, and the Major-General commanding the War College. The 
purpose of the Turkish President’s visit was to demonstrate Britain’s interest in 
Turkey as an ally and an economically developing country in the process of 
democratisation. The Turks recognised the mainly symbolic nature of the visit, but 
for a number of reasons were somewhat apprehensive beforehand. The visit was, 
however, successful and the Turkish delegate was impressed by the hospitality of 
their hosts. The Turks were pleased to engage in political discussions of substance. 
The Turkish Press gave the British positive coverage, and the British Government 
hoped that some impact would be made on the Turkish people as a whole. The visit 
certainly made an impact on the President and his suite, who were impressed by the 
excellent planning and the traditional splendour. However, what surprised and 
pleased the Turks most of all was the ease of the relationships which they formed. 
They returned with a lot to think over, and the British Ambassador believed that the 
visit would help Anglo-Turkish relations.
